TESOL Worldwide - Teach English in Norway

To teach English in Norway it is best to have an advanced college education, and a teaching certificate recognized by the country of Norway. Prospective employers usually prefer teachers with Norwegian citizenship, require college education, and prefer applicants to be present for the interview process.

Norway is a country in northern Europe, and the capital is called Oslo. Most teachers will find employment in international schools or private language centers.

Two centuries of Viking raids into Europe tapered off following the adoption of Christianity by King Olav TRYGGVASON in 994. Conversion of the Norwegian kingdom occurred over the next several decades. In 1397, Norway was absorbed into a union with Denmark that was to last for more than four centuries. In 1814, Norwegians resisted the cession of their country to Sweden and adopted a ew constitution. Sweden then invaded Norway but agreed to let Norway keep its constitution in return for accepting the union under a Swedish king. Rising nationalism throughout the 19th century led to a 1905 referendum granting Norway independence. Although Norway remained neutral in World War I, it suffered heavy losses to its shipping. Norway proclaimed its neutrality at the outset of World War II, but was nonetheless occupied for five years by Nazi Germany (1940-45). In 1949, neutrality was abandoned and Norway became a member of NATO. Discovery of oil and gas in adjacent waters in the late 1960s boosted Norway's economic fortunes. The current focus is on containing spending on the extensive welfare system and planning for the time when petroleum reserves are depleted. In referenda held in 1972 and 1994, Norway rejected joining the EU.

Teach
in China

For many
years, Americans have provided
high quality English instruction
to students in China. In
recent years, efforts have
been made to create a more
consistent national policy
on housing, pay and other
work-related conditions
for these teachers. If you're
interested in teaching ESL
in China, you can find a
number of programs through
our office in Beijing.

Teach
in Japan

Of all
the nations that seek ESL
instruction, the demand
is higher in Asia than anywhere
else. As one of the world
leaders in international
trade, the ability to speak
conversational English is
very important to Japanese
businessmen and citizens
in general. English instruction
is so popular there that
they actually have something
called "conversation lounges"
where Japanese citizens
pay to speak with native
English speakers.

paid vacations, and medical
insurance. Some positions

the amount of one month's
salary.If you want to work

trouble in the international
community. We provide sponsor

candidates.In order to qualify
for teaching positions in

in Spain

lesson plans and techniques
that have proven to be effective
over the years. Schools

in Italy

to work in Italy as an English
teacher is to work as a
freelance tutor. This is
one of the more challenging
paths to finding work overseas.

feet wet in a summer teaching
program. There are several

environment. If you want

up fast, there are some
unique opportunities.

Teach
in Poland & Eastern Europe

Poland
is one of the largest countries
in Eastern Europe. It was
the re legalization of the
trade union Solidarity and
the agreement to hold partially
free parliamentary elections
that appeared to have opened
the floodgates of radical
reforms that spilled over
into other countries of
the Soviet bloc. In 1989,
a year of drama unmatched
in modern history, government
after government collapsed
in Eastern Europe and politically
transformed not only Poland
but also East Germany, Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria,
Romania, and the Soviet
Union itself. English Instruction
is now common place in Eastern
Europe, as the bridge between
the East and West continues
to grow.
